Watch: Mother Elephant Teaches Her Baby How To Get Down Slope, Calf Fails Hilariously

The mother elephant is trying to teach her young calf how to get down a muddy slope.

Elephant calves are notoriously clumsy, and adorably so. For the first few days of their lives, their eyesight, coordination, and balance are a little off and they are mostly dependent on their mothers for everything. In turn, an elephant mom is very nurturing and protective of her offspring, especially in the earliest stages of their lives. Elephant moms are there for their babies every step of the way and teach them to navigate through tricky situations. Demonstrating the same, an old video of a mother elephant teaching her baby how to slide down a slope has resurfaced on Twitter and has garnered a whopping 12 million views.

The adorable moment has been shared on Twitter by Buitengebieden, which regularly posts funny and cute animal videos, with a caption that says, ''Mother: This is the last time I show you how to go down.. Son:''

Watch the video here:

In the video, the mother elephant is trying to teach her young calf how to get down a muddy slope. In order to instruct the calf, she first demonstrates the process. The jumbo first slowly stretches the rear legs backward and steps down the muddy slope on the front legs. She then drags the rear legs toward the front and comfortably steps down. However, when the calf tries to repeat the process, it falls down head first with his feet in the air. The moment is too funny to miss.

Apart from 12 million views, the video has received more than 27,000 likes, and more than 3330 retweets. Internet users loved the adorable video and posted a variety of comments. One user wrote, ''I give him points for at least attempting her technique.''

Another said, ''Mother elephant: Teaches complex physiological movements to her baby for the purpose of safely traversing terrain. The baby: FLOMP.'' A third commented, ''As usual, the child's way is more chaotic, BUT also more fun!'' A fourth added, ''That was so cute and hilarious at the same time.''

North Korea Says It Tested New Strategic Cruise Missile

By
North Korea test-fired a new generation of strategic cruise missile on Wednesday. (Representational) Seoul: North Korea fired several cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea on Wednesday, Seoul's military said, the latest in a series of tension-raising moves by the nuclear-armed state. Hours later, North Korea appeared to confirm the firing, saying it had carried out its first test of a new generation of strategic cruise missiles it is developing, the Pulhwasal-3-31. Pyongyang has accelerated weapons testing in the new year, including tests of what it called an "underwater nuclear weapon system" and a solid-fuelled hypersonic ballistic missile. "Our military detected several cruise missiles launched by North Korea towards the Yellow Sea at around 7:00 am today," the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. Unlike their ballistic counterparts, the testing of cruise missiles is not banned under current UN sanctions against Pyongyang. Cruise...

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

By
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
